The Open, Accessible Digital Workspace (OADW)
La Division de la collaboration numérique (DCN ou OutilsGC, comme on l'appelle communément) mettra sur pied un réseau intégré de services numériques universellement accessibles qui permettront au gouvernement et aux partenaires de partager de l’information et de collaborer pour créer un avenir meilleur pour les gens que nous servons. Cette transition fera qu’il sera plus facile pour les employés, les équipes, les organisations et les partenaires de collaborer et d’atteindre leurs objectifs en offrant le meilleur accès possible aux personnes, aux données, à l’information et aux outils dont ils ont besoin pour exceller dans leur travail. Veuillez prendre note que Projet Suricate n’est plus notre nom de projet.

The New DCD Blog
Launched this month, the DCD has a new blog to share stories of success, failure, and what we're working on right now. Read our latest blogs on user experience (UX) icon testing at the 2018 Innovation Fair and lessons learned when leading a design project.
All blogs are hosted on the GCcollab Wiki, and are available for all to read and share.
Creating Awareness, Fostering Reconciliation and Contributing to a Shared Future
The Canada-Indigenous Relations group is a space for sharing stories and highlighting opportunities to learn more about Indigenous governance, policy, and nation-to-nation relationships. More recently, as part of the 2018 Innovation Fair, a live digital brainstorming session took place on GCcollab on Indigenous approaches to policy and evaluation, an Indigenous GBA+ lens, and digital transformation in the way that federal departments and agencies use online platforms to work for and with Indigenous peoples. The brainstorming collected as many considerations and solutions as possible to employ a decolonizing strategy for conducting research and co-creating knowledge.
The ideas generated from the brainstorming session will feed into the wider transformation engagements taking place at ISC & CIRNA and advance the development of a CIRNA Indigenous evaluation framework and approach. The findings from these sessions will also inform a department-wide Indigenous Co-Creation Framework for delivering respectful, meaningful and culturally sensitive collaboration with Indigenous partners and clients developed by the 2018 Audit and Evaluation Summer Internship Team.
June is Indigenous History Month and Thursday, June 21, marks National Indigenous Peoples Day. This is a special day to celebrate the unique heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding achievements of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples in Canada. Learn more and join the Canada-Indigenous Relations group on GCcollab.

The Mission?
With partners in Canada and around the world, the DCD is here to help governments and their partners work together, in the open, to create a better world. How? By developing an accessible digital workspace – with open source solutions, open standards, and light-weight partnerships to help us get it right.
The world is networked, but in many ways, governments are still working in silos. And that’s an barrier for many groups who want to solve the tough challenges that affect us all.
GCTools Client Support Officer (AS-01 or equivalent)
Within the DCD, we’re responsible for developing, enhancing, maintaining and promoting the GCTools (GCcollab, GCconnex, GCpedia and more!). Our vision is to create a single collaborative public service and to encourage new ways of working in an open, transparent, digital environment. The client service operations are part of the user experience (UX) and design team within DCD. The team guides and informs the work towards designing and building better collaboration tools and user experiences using a variety of research and design methods. We work with a multidisciplinary team to incorporate people-centric thinking from problem definition to post-launch iteration. Our priority is to have an in-depth understanding of our users. We ask thoughtful research questions, synthesize insights, develop and evaluate concepts or prototypes, and assist with launches and releases.
